Someone who understands color muuuuuch more than me helped me arrive at this key, which I plan to make use of going forward. It was especially useful in breaking up Hailey. The underside of her hair is darker to pop out her face and shoulderline. The horns and wings are darker so they no longer consolidate with the hair or stockings. Stockings and skin will be assigned a shadow color as well.

Hailey is from hell. Holly is from heaven. They're both common pornstar names, so let's go with that! As you can see, I'm still experimenting with color process, trying desperately to pull "finished" from "rough." My problem, as always, is contrast. Guess I need shadows in there to punch shit, but guh...so much work...

I'm now part of the unofficial Blizzard art blog Just Make It Cool, doing 30 minute lunch exercises with the guys. We'll see how long this lasts...

And hey, wow, Hai Phan did this awesome sculpt based on one of my rejected Darksiders concepts! Rookie 3D artists take note : Hai did this from a black and white three quarter line drawing no more detailed than the one above, proving once and for all that baller modelers don't need nicely rendered paintings and orthos to do quality shit. *tips hat to Hai*

Random awkward interaction of the week : I was at a grocery store, ringing up a sandwich and a drink before lifedrawing. The total came to $6.66.
